the most of it

By Antonia Prebble & Roar Collective

For as long as I can remember I’ve been on the hunt to find the answer to one big question: how do we make the most of this thing called life? But of course, there is no singular answer.

What makes our personality? Why does it seem like we’re developing more mental health problems? How can we look after our brains? Antonia sits down with leading New Zealand psychologist Nigel Latta for a fascinating deep-dive in the human brain.
Everyone knows Nigel Latta. He’s one of New Zealand’s best known psychologists, and a prominent media commentator with an easy going, plain language way of explaining complex issues.
For example, how do we actually change when we get older? Will we actually learn anything from COVID-19? And what are the universal tricks to being successful? These are all big, juicy questions that Nigel breaks down in a way that will have you thinking about what he’s said long after this podcast is over.

December 14, 2021 the most of it // Emily Esfahani Smith // S1 EP1
The concept of happiness is reasonably straightforward, but what does it mean? According to bestselling author Emily Esfahani Smith, it’s often misunderstood. Emily draws on psychology, philosophy, and literature as she goes on a deep dive to explore the true meaning of what it is to be happy.
Emily is the host of a transformational TED talk that’s been viewed more than nine million times. Her most recent book is called The Power of Meaning: Finding Fulfilment in a World Obsessed with Happiness, and it’s a thought-provoking take on what true happiness really is. She takes an all-angles look at the concept of happiness in personal, professional and emotional senses, with an eye to overall happiness that may not be quite what you think it is.
Why do we make decisions we know are bad for us? Should we just follow our innermost passions? Can our actions influence our feelings? Emily’s answers to these questions are enlightening and at-times confronting, and she’ll challenge your approach to being happy in a really rewarding way.
Thank you so much to Emily! You can find her http://emilyesfahanismith.com/ here, and Kiwis you can see details on where to find her wonderful book here .

April 14, 2021 Kanoa Lloyd
Kanoa Lloyd, co-host of TV Three’s The Project, is also a descendant of Ngāti Porou and a soon-to-be mother.
Having made an impressive mark from five years on the weeknight current affairs show, Kanoa has often used the platform to speak openly about mental health issues and the use of te reo Māori in primetime programming.
Where many people attribute success to driving full steam ahead into achieving their goals, Kanoa’s approach is incredibly refreshing to hear - she achieves success when she actively slows down, finding inner strength in self-reflection, which is one of her coping mechanisms she’s learned through talking therapy.
More recently, Kanoa has been reconnecting with her whakapapa and is finding a confident voice as a Māori woman. She hopes to inspire the next generation of younger Māori women and to serve as the role model that she never had growing up.
Listen in as Antonia and Kanoa check in with each other and ask the questions that are important. Kanoa’s authentically warm and engaging nature draws you in to her experience as someone living with anxiety and makes you consider whether slowing down could be a helpful tool for you, too.

April 07, 2021 Lucy Hone
It’s time to retire the five stages of grief, says Dr. Lucy Hone. An academic researcher in the field of resilient psychology and author of the best-selling book Resilient Grieving, she has also dealt with grief face to face in her own personal tragedy.
Lucy suddenly lost her daughter in a car accident in 2014, and was immediately faced with applying her vast academic background into her own personal circumstances. She became immediately frustrated by the passive nature of the resources available, and set out to find evidence-based strategies that would allow her to take control of the grieving process. She realised she was now conducting a self experiment.
What she found was that she could live her life and grieve simultaneously, by adopting strategies that allowed her to be an active participant in her grieving journey. Compelled to share her findings with others, Lucy’s book offers strategies that help integrate the enormity of the event into a person’s life story, without offering ‘normal’ comparisons for the grieving individual.
Lucy’s story is both sad and strong. Her understanding is a rich combination of her personal and professional experience, and will impart listeners with a new perspective of tackling grief.
In January 2021, Dr. Lucy Hone released an online course - Coping with Loss: The Helper’s Guide to Resilient Grieving, available via the link on our page.

March 31, 2021 Amanda Dewinter
Amanda Dewinter is warm and perceptive, and someone you will want to take advice from. She is the author of The Success Code, published by HQ Harper Collins earlier this year.
In it, she breaks down her guide to success into four sections - ambition, learning, wellbeing, and resolve. With practical and attainable steps, she aims to inspire the reader to start their own journey toward success.
As Amanda takes us through the sections, she expands on why each is an important component to achieving success, and touches on the research behind it. With relatable examples like exercising, applying for university, or looking for a new job, Amanda explains why it’s important to recognise the barriers we create for ourselves and how to reach success by breaking goals up into achievable steps.
She offers advice on how to create positive habits, and turns the word ‘stress’ on its head so that we can view it differently and use it in a positive way.
Now is the time to take personal responsibility and choose the life you want to live. Join Amanda and Antonia Prebble in this episode of ‘the most of it’ and learn some practical places to start.

March 24, 2021 Sarah Wilson
Sarah Wilson is the founder of the I Quit Sugar empire. After enjoying huge success, she closed up her business in 2018, gave her money to charity, and embarked on a three-year hike across the world to reconnect herself with nature and engage in discerning thought.
Speaking with experts along the way, Sarah questioned the demise of meaningful connection. Connection with ourselves, with other people, and with our lives, and why we retreat into disconnect and turn to distractions that ultimately derail our lives away from what really matters.
Drawing on science, literature, philosophy, and her own personal journey, Sarah’s book This One Wild and Precious Life aims to highlight why we’ve arrived into 2021 feeling exhausted and disconnected and overwhelmed by global crises. She swings the anxieties around to find positive solutions that can be enjoyed by regular people at a granular scale.
Sarah’s dialogue is both captivating and important, and leaves the listener in self-reflective thought.
How do we maintain calm and peace when the world is falling apart? Should we maintain calm and peace when the world is falling apart?

March 17, 2021 Janine Bird
What’s missing in my relationship?
Does an affair automatically mean the end of a relationship?
What should we do in the heat of an argument?

Despite our countless questions, we don’t seem to put much money, time and learning into how to be the best partner until it’s too late. Janine Bird is a relationship expert and the Director of Relationship Rescue based in Auckland, where her practice stems from a combination of up-to-date research, evidence-based practice, and her personal experience of an abusive relationship.

Think about it: when we’re in an argument, our habitual coping mechanisms literally shut off our brains and we’re left with survival instincts – attack, defend, run away or freeze. When this happens to your partner too, you’ve got the two dumbest parts of your brains butting heads trying to solve a problem – it’s never going to happen.

This episode is packed with insights, advice, scenarios, and tools, and they’re for everyone – whether you’re feeling mostly satisfied in your relationship to overcoming major heartbreak and mistrust, you’ll finish this episode feeling as if you’ve been through a session with Janine yourself.

March 10, 2021 Zoë Bell
Zoë Bell started out as a stunt double for Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess. After being cast as Uma Thurman’s double in Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, she formed a solid friendship with acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino, and she has collaborated and featured in every one of his subsequent films.
There was a time when Zoë was living and working as a stunt double in LA on some of Hollywood’s biggest films, just being satisfied with being ‘the upbeat, open-hearted Kiwi girl’ that was friendly and easy going.
But after a while, the validation she got from being liked in a dog-eat-dog world started to wear thin, and she questioned her self-identity. What eventuated was a conscious shift and new-found understanding that she could ultimately be in charge of her own choices and was capable of taking the reins.
Zoë chats to Antonia about how this shift saw an influx of creative opportunities, positive relationships and a wealth of success, but was not without the harsh confrontation of her own vulnerabilities, especially when she was challenged with grief and trauma. The upside, Zoë explains, is that her perspective has forever shifted, and she can communicate some of her profound insights through her upcoming work as a director.
This is a powerful conversation that is filled with raw honesty, developed insights, and the occasional swear word. You’ll want full attention for this episode, as Zoë’s story is filled with frank content that takes us through her highs and lows of the film industry, the tragedy of losing a parent, navigating through tricky life scenarios, and finding a stronger version of yourself at the other end.

Please note, this episode contains material some listeners may find offensive or upsetting, including swearing, mention of suicide and themes related to depression.

October 28, 2020 Robyn Malcolm
Has there ever been a more Kiwi screen character than Cheryl West? Or a more Kiwi actress than Robyn Malcolm?
Robyn Malcolm is a gem. One of New Zealand’s premier actresses, she is known all over the country as a very genuine, real, and down to earth personality...as well as being Cheryl West.
This is less of a podcast and more of a conversation. We go all over the place - from the early Outrageous Fortune days to being lazy, to the perks of stopping to look at ants. If it sounds a bit random, then yeah, maybe it is. But it’s really nice.
This episode is a catch up between a couple of old acting mates. Where this is different, though, is it’s about some of the bigger picture things in life - raising kids, being lazy, gratitude and literally regretting nothing. There’s a good splattering of fun and laughter along the way, and an enlightening look back at Cheryl West. This is one not to be missed, especially for Outrageous Fortune fans!
